Ukrainian Americans viewed President Zelenskiy's U.S. visit as a promising sign of strong bilateral relations, gathering in Washington to support his address to Congress.
While appreciative of current U.S. assistance, activists and community members stressed the urgent need for increased military aid, including advanced systems like the Patriot Air Defense, to help Ukraine win the war.
The U.S. has committed substantial military assistance totaling $21.2 billion, with an additional $1.85 billion announced during Zelenskiy's visit, yet many believe more is critical for Ukraine's victory and long-term U.S. national security.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
